Shalom,

I want to share some more healing verses today. We've covered these verses earlier, but not specifically concerning healing:

Psalm 103:1-5 (KJV)
1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's


We are told here to bless (express adoration to) the Lord (Yehovah, the eternal, self-existing One) with our soul and with all that is within us. Part of our blessing Him is to remember, to take account of and to thank Him for ALL His benefits. For every good thing He has provided for us. Some of those are listed here for us. He forgives all of our sin (when we confess that sin:1 John 1:9) and heals (Hebrew rapha': mend, cure, thoroughly make whole) ALL our diseases (Hebrew tachaluw': malady, sickness, disease). He reedems (buys back) our lives from destruction and crowns us with His lovingkindness (Hebrew checed:kindness, goodness, faithfulness) and tender mercies (Hebrew racham:compassion and tender love).
Our Lord wants us to be blessed in every area and He has provided for that blessing. This includes health, healing, wellness, fitness and wholeness in our physical bodies. We need to establish that truth firmly in our hearts and minds so that we will not be deceived about where sickness and disease ultimately originates from! The Amplified Bible is very clear on this:

Psalm 103:1-5 (Amplified)
1BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--
3Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
4Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
5Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]!


Say this with me: "God wants me well! He wants me healed and whole!" Now believe that! Continue to meditate on the Scriptures we have already shared on this blog concerning healing and you will be in position to receive your healing from the Lord!

Shalom in Him!
